Verve Grill - Broxtowe

For Fathers Day we decided to go for a meal as we're members of the leisure centre. We were served by Lisa who really looked after us. There was quite a wide range of healthy low carb options on the menu which really made a chanfe. Woukd highly recommend and will definitely be returning. You also get £10 every month to use for being a member of the gym Thanks very much it really made our day special.

I had a steak and my wife had salmon, both meals were very nice but the drinks were a bit pricy so be aware.

The food is fantastic and the customer service is exceptional. This applies to both the breakfast menu and the staff. I will definitely be coming back again.

Very good service with al a carte or fixed menu and extensive wine list. Nice seating areas and quiet

Well thank goodness we went on the Meerkat meal deal, as if I 'd paid £65 for the 4 Sunday carvery 's I 'd be very unhappy! Welcome and venue were fine, server was very polite. Now the food, soup was ok, warm so fine served with warm bread which was a nice touch. The starters were good, fresh fish, meats, pate bread and salad. The main course, this is where it fell down The chef carved the thinnest peices of meat, Yorkshire pudding was cooked to death, crispy to the point of solid. Stodgy balls of stuffing, cauliflower was under cooked and hard, so too were the sprouts. Looks like they rush cooking them just to get them out. Gravy was quite watery. This was finished with Sticky Toffee pudding which was obviously a tray bake which had literally no flavour and again stodgy, same with the apple crumble just no taste, perhaps the chef needs to find the spice rack! Custard was again thin. The saving Grace was the ice cream machine with toppings, and the small pots of mousse and cheesecake. This seems very critical, but it 's not what you expect from a good hotel, especially when their poster says best carvery proof is in the pudding . It 's not and they really do need to step up and get it sorted, place was not full at prime time for lunch, that tells you everything! Hopefully the manager reads these reviews and will look to sort it out, I will give it a couple of months then have a return visit to see if they have changed.
